as well as GFW Radio did. Ostensibly a show about computer games, GFW Radio
never pigeonholed itself in that niche, instead becoming a program that flowed
between topics and moods, a show at the absolute top of its game whether
mocking the internet's peculiar dwellers or gravely exposing the sickly nature of
gaming "journalism." Very few— perhaps none— have been as eminent and brilliant
as GFW Radio.

Storytelling defines this summary of GFW Radio's second year. Host Jeff Green has
a Lord of the Rings- themed dream; Shawn Elliott tells gaming arcade horror
stories; Robert Ashley gets duped by con artists in Shanghai. Jeff Gerstmann is fired
from GameSpot for refusing to buckle to pressure placed on him by advertisers,
and the cast mark his ouster by wondering how their profession collapsed into
such a state of disorder. Elsewhere, nerds question whether Superman produces
bodily waste, and pontificate upon their desire to wed fictional rodents. A woman
turns to prostitution in order to gain standing in World of Warcraft, and a hoi polloi
of recluses seek out Shigeru Miyamoto on their quest to find true love. Hello and
welcome to the GFW Radio podcast.

Jeff Green
Jeff Green joined Ziff Davis in 1991, starting out on the publishing house's line of
computer gaming magazines. He eventually became editor-in-chief of Computer
Gaming World, a tremendously popular magazine in its day. It was later rebranded
as Games for Windows Magazine. Green's long tenure and dedication to his craft
saw him become a popular figure among readers and listeners. As 1 UP looked to

build a podcast network in late 2005, Green took on hosting duties for his
magazine's podcast when it launched in January 2006. Green left the 1UP Network
in 2008.
Shawn Elliott
Elliott joined the 1 UP/Ziff Davis network early on, starting out at Electronic Gaming
Monthly. Initially he was given low quality games to review owing to his funny and
canny writing style. He later shifted over to Computer Gaming World. He made his
name at CGW and particularly on GFW Radio, where he shared numerous stories
and unleashed his array of comical voices. He left 1 UP and Ziff Davis in 2008 to
work for Irrational Games.
Darren Gladstone
Gladstone was drafted on at Computer Gaming l/l/or/c/magazine given his expertise
on the technical side. He left the magazine and the podcast at the end of 2007 after
becoming a senior editor at the magazine. Gladstone went on to write for PC
Gamer magazine, and then went on to work for Hewlett-Packard.
Ryan Scott
After joining Computer Gaming l/l/or/c/magazine Ryan Scott was promptly put in
charge of creating demo disks. He gradually rose up in the ranks at Ziff Davis and
1 UP, ultimately becoming an executive editor, before being cut in late 2008. He
promptly began work on building his own podcast network.
Sean Molloy
Sean Molloy jumped into the role of producer for GFW Radio in early 2006. Prior to
the podcast, Molloy had worked on Computer Gaming l/l/or/c/magazine. In 2008
Molloy left 1 UP.com to work for Blizzard Entertainment.
Robert Ashley
Ashley started out as a freelancer, writing for various outlets including Electronic
Gaming Monthly and Games for Windows Magazine. He became a regular on the
show in late 2007. After the cancellation of the magazine, Ashley flitted between
several projects, including his A Life Well Wasted podcast and the GFW Radio spin-
off Out of the Game. He later formed the two-man band I Come to Shanghai.
